Spatial thinking

 

The nerd in me (and likely Massey as well) wants to reverse this to say "your space for place." 

The written...

Turned in yesterday morning 11am.
It seems only appropriate that the printer jammed and ran out of paper when I printed the final...

Forecast

Feels appropriate for the week...

1 week, 3 hours remain.

Ethical quandary

I find it to be a cruel irony that the book on the geography of ethics that I need from the library is missing, likely stolen, from the stacks.

10 days remaining.

21 days remaining

6 weeks seems a lot shorter from the week 4 vantage point.
4 questions drafted, 3 remaining.
Orals scheduled for December 8th.

p.s. Some of the answers are starting to complement each other, which is 1) creepy, 2) helpful and 3) pointing to me being a post-structuralist geographer.

...the stale taste...

I'm sorry, but this: "The Privileges of China’s Elite Include Purified Air"

reminds me of this: Perri-Air

and also this: Orwellian much?

namely because of this quote: “Breathing clean air is a basic human need,”
All are equal, but some are more equal than others apparently.

Joe's "Movember"

Before

In an effort to raise awareness about prostate cancer and men's health more generally, Joe and his colleagues have joined the movember movement. This translates to growing facial hair...or put differently, throwing out the razor for the month of November. While I have some misgivings over the effectiveness of this approach, I can see how the normally clean shaven faces will be a conversational point, as varying degrees of mustache and beard are expressed. Moreover, to participate you have to start from scratch...so for the first time in 8 years Joe will be without goatee, that will definitely be shocking (mostly for me I think).
This does seem rather a momentous occasion does it not?
